This Valerian root tea shit better make me sleepy.....
because it doesn't taste too spectacular...

I need to get tired so I can get up early. First day of class. I'm 30 years old and I feel like I'm about 10, getting anxiety for my first day back to school after the summer is off.

This is probably how I'll look tomorrow too.

Edited on Mon Aug-22-05 02:33 AM by KitchenWitch

2. I second that
The capsules may reek, but you only have to swallow them, not drink a whole cup.

4. Oh, God, the stench of those things is awful...
I took them for a bout of insomnia I had last summer. Did the trick, but goddamn they stink.

5. Oh man, I totally forgot
I'm going to have to check out the results.

I'll do that right away.

Yeah, I'm going to need some vibes. I've gotten lazy in my old age. :) The brain may be losing it too.

8. I know!
I have to remember I can't bounce back like an 18 year old anymore; pacing yourself is everything:)

11. I know I already have to pace myself on everything
I'm going back in the weightroom tomorrow for the first time in a long time, after I hurt my back a few years ago. I'm going to be taking it so easy in there. If I don't I won't be able to move for days. :)

14. Get some of this shit


Tastes much better than valerian tea and works just as well. Made of chamomile, lemongrass, mint, and catnip, believe it or not. (so you cat owners - keep it on a high shelf away from the little stoners.)

15. It always worked for me.
The capsules work too, but they're not as good as the tea. Yes, they both stink.

16. IF you don't like the taste of Valerian root tea or have capsule burps....
... you can defuse Valerian essential oil in your room with the same effect.

:woohoo: back to school AGAIN! I still take an occasional college course just because I LOVE learning new things!

HAVE A GREAT FIRST DAY BACK AT SCHOOL BILL !!! ya kid ...

17. First day of school...
at least you do not have to lead the class, but are only a student. Just get a pair of those glasses with the fake eyes which make you appear awake when actually you are sleeping just in case you fall asleep in class. LOL!

Best of luck.

:hi:

23. I'm a coffee drinking machine...however....
I am on my last legs right now... I suspect I'll get my second wind soon though. I'm in a computer lab right now.

5 pm will make 24 hours up for me. I'm actually not feeling too bad right now. Once that second wind I spoke of hits me, I'll be fine, for a few hours anyway. But, I have class at 4 pm and that one is going to be tough to get through. An hour and fifteen minutes of health care policy. :boring: :boring: :boring: :boring:

24. And I thought OSHA briefings were real snoozers
Luckily we must only undergo about a thirty minute review of safety policies concerning blood-borne pathogens (1 out of every 8 public school students in SC are HIV positive) and hepatitis.
